Answer: (3)
Solution: (3)
A’s investment = Rs. $x$
$\therefore$ B’s investment $=$ Rs. $2 x$
C’s investment $=$ Rs. $2.5 x$
$\therefore$ Profit ratio of A , B and C $=4 x: 6 \times 2 x: 12 \times 2.5 x$
$=4: 12: 30=2: 6: 15$
Sum of the ratios $=2+6+15=23$
$\therefore$ B’s share $=$ Rs. $\left(\frac{6}{23} \times 5819\right)=$ Rs. 1518
